The global family atmosphere of the ECRI

Yllka came to Pfarrkirchen because the ECRI offers her a very nice opportunity to study Health Informatics, a field she is really interested in and in which she sees a lot of potential and opportunities for the future.

For her, Pfarrkirchen is a gorgeous city with colourful houses and streets, friendly locals and people from different parts of the world. Even though she misses her friends and family and her country´s traditions, she likes the colourful centre of Pfarrkirchen and would love to show it to everyone who comes to visit.

What Yllka likes about the ECRI especially and Pfarrkirchen in general is that it is very family-like and diverse and you can meet people from all over the world with different traditions and cultural backgrounds. For example, she once went to an Italian restaurant with her father and spoke English with the waitress but Albanian with her father. The waitress replied in Albanian as she is from the same country as Yllka and understood everything they said in their native language. Such an atmosphere makes  everyone feel comfortable to express their opinions and be more productive according to Yllka.
